Industrial Technology Systems (ITS), an ICONICS certified partner specialises in the design and implementation of ICONICS GENESIS64™, a suite of 64-bit HMI/SCADA software solutions.
GENESIS64™, designed and certified for Microsoft® Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Vista, is the first to take advantage of true 64-bit hardware and software technology to provide rapid development and deployment of automation solutions.
GENESIS64™ allows plant-level workers and IT professionals to integrate real-time manufacturing and business information into a common, OPC-UA-compliant, Web-enabled visualisation dashboard.
With the convergence of 64-bit, multi-core, multi-processor computing; 64-bit Microsoft® Operating Systems; and demand for 64-bit native applications, ICONICS has designed GENESIS64™, a leading 64-bit HMI/SCADA solution.
The GENESIS64™ suite includes several solutions that allow for connectivity from plant floor and building facilities to corporate business systems. Designed from the ground up and taking advantage of 64-bit, OPC-UA, .NET managed code and SharePoint® technology, it allows plant operators and IT professionals to integrate real-time manufacturing and business information into a secure and common Web-enabled visualisation dashboard.
Powerful Workbench Provides Web-based Configuration
Workbench is the multi-functional, centralised Web-based environment for all GENESIS64™ product configurations and is the core of the GENESIS64™ suite. Third-party applications can be integrated into the ICONICS Workbench. This powerful and robust Workbench can also act as an advanced real-time operator interface for visualisation.
Web Configuration
All GENESIS64™ and third-party applications can be configured from the unified Workbench, allowing for faster development and cost savings in building any application. Create multiple layouts which support multiple monitors giving you a complete 360° view and true thin-client web configuration for configuring security, graphics, trends and alarms. With integrated Microsoft Silverlight technology, cross-browser and cross-platform visualisation is achievable.
Real-Time Operation
View several applications with multi-monitor and multiple layout configurations. From the Workbench, users can:
• Monitor Service Health, Service Status, Diagnostics
• Remotely Start and Stop Any Application
Integrated Project Management
The Workbench provides complete and secure project management capability for your application. The Workbench project management features include:
• Pack and Go Deployment
• Versioning and Change Management
• Global Search, Organise, Find and Replace
• Project Statistics and Audit Trails
Robust and Reliable Redundancy
For mission critical projects, where applications need to run around the clock and be fail-safe, GENESIS64™ offers high availability redundancy for the best communication reliability. With automatic failure detection, GENESIS64™ users can be assured that mission critical data, alarm and historical information is always available for viewing and logging on demand whenever it is needed.
Alarm notifications, based on server failure, ensure that operations are automatically informed when failures are detected. A store-and-forward feature in the alarm logger ensures that data access, alarms and historical information are not lost in the event of a server failure.
ICONICS redundancy solutions are simple to configure, install and deploy. Software redundancy covers all major aspects of data redundancy such as data access, alarms, historical data and security. In GENESIS64™, OPC software redundancy provides full automatic switchover for OPC data access (DA), Alarms & Events (A&E), Historical Data Access (HDA) and Security.
Unsurpassed Visualisation using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight™
GENESIS64™ also takes advantage of state-of-the-art graphic hardware acceleration through DirectX, powered by Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. GraphWorX64, integrated with Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight, provides users with a compelling 2D and 3D view of their operations in real-time with live data. Imagine the ability to view how equipment is running, in real-time, from any angle. It's a whole new powerful approach to visualisation.
Lighting up Windows 7
GENESIS64™ is built from the ground up on 64-bit allowing it to take advantage of the latest features offered in Windows 7. With Multitouch support, operators can zoom in and out and flip through graphics with one and two finger gestures. Windows taskbar support allows GENESIS64™ to provide more intuitive information to be displayed in the Windows taskbar even when the application is minimised. Support for the Windows 7 Jump List feature allows the GENESIS64™ applications to be available from the Windows start menu for quick access.
Object-oriented Distributed Alarm Management
AlarmWorX™64 is a powerful, distributed, enterprise-wide alarm and events management system for the largest, most demanding applications. Available as part of GENESIS64™, or as a stand-alone product, AlarmWorX64 offers the tools you need to deliver real-time and historical alarm information. AlarmWorX64 includes AlarmWorX64 OPC Server, AlarmWorX64 OPC Logger and a new 3D Alarm Viewer .NET Control. AlarmWorX64 is totally compatible with the OPC A/E, and OPC-UA/AE industry standards. AlarmWorX64 is ready to meet the most demanding alarm management applications.
Real-time and Historical 3D Charts and Analysis
TrendWorX™64 is a plant-wide data collection, logging, charting, reporting and analysis solution. Included in the standard GENESIS64™ suite of applications, it is designed to log data to any OLEDB database (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Oracle, MySQL and others). TrendWorX64 offers the tools you need to trend and chart real-time and historical data from any relational database. TrendWorX64 is an OPC HDA-compliant application and provides open connectivity to any OPC DA and OPC UA data source, making it ideal for most OPC logging applications. This connectivity allows for easy plug and play with not only ICONICS servers and trend components, but with other third-party trending solutions, as well.
TrendWorX64 Real-time & Historical Trending
Quickly View Assets with the Most Advanced GEO-SCADA Capabilities
EarthWorX™, GENESIS64™'s new geographical information SCADA technology, provides real-time visualization to widely dispersed assets such as water plants, building facilities, postal centres, factories, oil fields and many others. ICONICS' unique SmartPin™ technology allows for an intuitive drill-down capability to quickly view alarm conditions and status for any location around the world. Within seconds, assets can be identified and located through GENESIS64™'s integration with Microsoft®'s Bing maps.
